Weapons & Gadgets

All weapons and gadgets in Battlefield 3 are split up into different Kits. Each Kit has special Gadgets to make that particular kit unique. The weapons available aren't only split up into different kits, but the starting weapons can only be used if you are playing as the US Faction or the Russian Faction. Of course, they will be unlocked for both factions at the end of all other kit unlocks.

Each kit will start out with one weapon. Use that kit to level it up and unlock more weapons and gadgets. At every 100 kills with a weapon, you will be awarded a service star and a weapon proficiency Dog Tag. At the fifth star, you will unlock a right side Dog Tag. This Dog Tag has the number of kills you have made with that gun.

All weapons in the Navigation are separated into the appropriate kits for easy access. Each weapon's page will have detailed stats and information.

The Weapon information on each weapon's page is set up in a simple format.

Unlock: When you unlock the weapon.

Kit: Which kit it's unlocked in - incase you navigated to the weapon through a link.

Reload Time: How long it takes to reload your weapon. Some weapons will have two times, the quickest and the slowest times. It will take longer to reload if you completely empty your weapon on most weapons.

Rate of Fire: How fast the weapon fires in Rounds Per Minute (RPM).

Fire Modes: The different modes the weapon can fire in.

Accessories: All weapons accessories and the amount of kills to unlock in brackets. If weapons have accessories unlocked when the weapon is unlocked, it will say [Default].
